Polarization control for slow and fast light in fiber optical, Raman-assisted, parametric amplification
arXiv:0909.4249 · doi:10.1016/j.crhy.2009.09.002
Abstract
Efficient slow and fast light fiber devices based on narrow band optical parametric amplification require a strict polarization control of the waves involved in the interaction. The use of high birefringence and spun fibers is studied theoretically, possible impairments evaluated, and design parameters determined.
